inferior to midbrain; regulates movement, breathing, reflexes, and complex functions associated with sleep and arousal

he largest commissural fibers that connects the right and left hemispheres

c-shaped ring of white matter; main output tract

most inferior structure of the brainstem; continuous with spinal cord at foramen magnum

main entry route of sensory data into cerebral cortex; relay station that receives input, integrate info, then send info to specific motor or sensory areas in cerebral cortex

where majority of CSF is manufactured; found in each of the four ventricles where blood vessels come into direct contact with ependymal cells (also produce some CSF themselves)

collection of nuclei anterior and inferior to larger thalamus; regulates the autonomic nervous system, sleep/wake cycle, thirst and hunger, and body temp.

cerebellar cortex is extremely folded and has branching white matter that resembles tree branches

cavity that is continuous with central canal of spinal cord; lined with ependymal cells; filled with cerebrospinal fluid

nervous tissue that is a relay station and a processing station

endocrine organ that resembles a pine cone; it secretes melatonin

between pons and cerebellum; connected to 3rd ventricle by cerebral aqueduct (small passageway through midbrain)

receives input from the hippocampus; plays a role in memory and behavior
